Honestly, at this point, HTML + associated frameworks like React/Angular are more mature for a lot of UI development than Qt is. Well, if you buy into the FRP/stateless UI things anyways.
Though interface builders help a lot, I've always had a problem building more dynamic interfaces through any of the native tools. React, for example, makes that a lot easier.
- albeva 10y agoWhile I consider web-tech in native a cancer I can't help, but agree. There is no good cross platform native UI library today. Few that are are stuck in 90s metaphor or poorly designed. Which I think is partly the reason why html-css-js is spreading everywhere.
- sievebrain 10y agoWhich ones have you tried? I ask because I quite like JavaFX. The developer/documentation website is fusty and old-fashioned looking, but the tech itself is just really solid. You can tell it's been made by people who have spent their whole careers doing UI toolkits.
- blub 10y agoHow can something that's ~3 years old be more mature than something that's 20 years old? Even QML is 7 years old at this point and that is reactive. Try to stay at least a little bit realistic...
- rtpg 10y agoMature and old are not the same thing. I don't think TkInter is stronger than React +Electron for building stable, large apps despite the large age difference. One thing is that React is the newest iteration of production-quality declarative UI management. Angular, Backbone, a lot of stuff came bdfore. And all that contributes to a mature understanding That being said, I forgot about QT quick. That is also pretty powerful stuff. Though the web influence seems there ( correct me if the causality is wrong).
